I think that Austin Franklin has, many times, explained the impossibility of adapting a working digital captor to a M body for the angle incidence of the light on the sensor, I think. But as one of the big values of the M line are the M lenses, a new body could be manufactured from scratch able of using the M lenses and keeping the general aspect of the M body. The bigger the sensor the better...Just my opinion... Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
